Chapter 194: Chapter 52 Han Qianye Breakthrough
Like the 99 horsepower limit of the Jade Bone Realm, the Dharma Form Realm also has a limit, which is 999 horsepower!
But this kind of strength can only be exhibited after condensing the Primordial Spirit and mobilizing it. Can the Travel Realm really exhibit it just with the physical body… is that true or not?
But if it’s not true, how did the opponent do it?
Shocked in his heart, Han Qianye did not pause in his attacks, continuing to thrust rapidly, but with each strike of the opponent’s Mo Dao, resembling a mountainous hammer, after more than a dozen hits, his palms began to bleed, unable to endure any longer.
He could exhibit a strength of 600 horsepower with one thrust, thanks to a chance consumption of a celestial treasure, yet even so, he could not sustain it for long. Yet the person before him, using 999 horsepower, still seemed relaxed and unending in strength, as if without pause or end!
No wonder his royal brother was so cautious, no wonder Li Yue’an and Feng Zhaoting were no match, such a well-hidden depth!
“Since you are using Heavenly Destiny, then I will too!”
Raising his eyebrows, Han Qianye violently vibrated the tip of his spear, and in the blink of an eye, Heavenly Mandate Vitality flowed, the speed of his spear instantly breaking the sound barrier, thrusting rapidly towards his opponent.
Flowing Light Heavenly Destiny!
This was the Heavenly Destiny passed down by the Han Yuan Royal Family, with the spear shimmering with light. Once exhibited, the speed would instantly surge, breaking through the sound barrier, and many stronger cultivators had been easily slain by this move.
Seeing such a rapid speed, Zhang Xuan’s eyes not only showed no fear, but they lit up.
The Heavenly Destinies he had encountered before were either “Betrayal,” “Enchantment,” or “Forced Dream Entering”…
All a bit abnormal, but understanding the spear shimmer would increase the speed of the spear and significantly boost combat capability. If he could copy and teach it to Zheng Yang, it would surely greatly enhance his power.
Thinking this, the copying ability of the Natural Heavenly Dao immediately started operating, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred thousand volumes of books burned out, transforming into a spear-shaped stream of water within the Library of Heaven’s Path.
“Such a huge consumption…”
Zhang Xuan’s eyelid twitched.
Luckily, he had just purchased 20 Destiny Plates, gaining about 200,000 strands of Heavenly Mandate Vitality, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to copy this kind of Heavenly Destiny.
Looking at the newly formed spear-shaped water stream.
Like the previous Mo Dao Destiny and Thousand Threads Destiny, even after absorbing a hundred thousand strands of Heavenly Mandate Vitality, it still seemed a bit feeble, ready to extinguish at any moment.
“Could it be that Flowing Light Heavenly Destiny is more sophisticated than Mo Dao Destiny?” Zhang Xuan speculated.
Mo Dao Destiny took fifty thousand strands of Heavenly Mandate Vitality to form a rudimentary shape, while Flowing Light needed a hundred thousand. Does it indicate it’s more powerful?
This thought flashed through his mind momentarily, knowing this was not the time to ponder such things. Zhang Xuan flicked his Mo Dao, slicing through the rapidly thrusting Flowing Light.
This time he held nothing back, his full strength accompanied by saber qi, grandly descending.
Crack! Crack!
Though the Flowing Light gun light was fast, its strength was inferior. Faced with his full-powered strike, it immediately dispersed, Han Qianye’s pupils contracted, wanting to dodge, but found his body already locked by a special force.
It was as if it were fated that he would die under this blade, with no means to resist.
Heavenly Mandate Vitality affects the soul!
“Damn!”
The crowd betting on Han Qianye’s victory all turned pale.
Seeing the force of this blade, if it really hit, let alone the pinnacle of Travel Realm, even the pinnacle of Dharma Form Realm couldn’t withstand it!
Hum!
The Mo Dao cleaved onto Han Qianye, the flash of light revealing a sudden appearance of a blue armor, blocking all the saber glints on the outside. Not only that, the ordinary steel-forged Mo Dao, under the impact of the force, “crashed” and shattered into countless pieces, embedding into the ground.
“This is… Han Ming Armor!”
“King Ping Yuan is actually wearing Han Ming Armor… is this still a duel to the death? It’s simply cheating!”
“Famed as a War Fanatic, always wanting to challenge others, but when it comes down to a real fight, he fears death and wears Battle Armor, how can the fight continue?”
“As long as the armor is activated, it’s basically unbreakable, already standing in an invincible position…”
Seeing this scene, the crowd immediately erupted, all in uproar.
Since it’s a duel to the death, the weapons used should be provided by the black market, and the gap shouldn’t be too big to be interesting, but you directly wear this kind of invincible defense, how can we still fight?
That’s too embarrassing!
Han Qianye’s face slightly reddened, he exhaled heavily, “They’re right, wearing the armor is indeed unfair!”
With that, he attempted to remove the Han Ming Armor from his body.
“No need, just exert your full strength, who said that wearing armor, I can’t counter it?” Zhang Xuan waved his hand, stepping forward.
Up until now, it was always the opponent who took the initiative to attack, while he was passively defending. At this time, his divine energy circulating to its peak, he decided to take the offensive.
His speed was also extremely fast, producing the sound of wind and thunder beneath his feet. Without the Mo Dao, without the Heavenly Destiny Martial Technique, logically his combat power should have been reduced significantly, but it gave Han Qianye a feeling that it was even more difficult to resist.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Palm, fist, knee, elbow joint… In the blink of an eye, the Han Ming Armor on his chest had withstood more than a dozen fierce hits, each one targeting the same spot, each delivering 999 horsepower, not a bit more, not a bit less.
“Pfft!”
Han Qianye’s face turned red, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
The Han Ming Armor could defend against attacks, but the shock from the force passing through the armor still became unbearable for him.
He had thought that the opponent was merely relying on Mo Dao Destiny to accumulate strength up to 999 horses, never dreaming that his physical body strength had also reached it! Moreover, every part of his body could manifest it…
How on earth did he practice?
He had long heard that Elder Ling was lustful. If he could manifest it in certain places, wouldn’t the women below him be killed on the spot?
Realizing it was not a wild imagination, Han Qianye raised his spear again, attempting to block the opponent.
However, before he could employ his spearmanship, the opponent’s ferocious strength struck the shaft of the spear, shattering it because it too could not withstand the attack.
“He can do it; why can’t I, why shouldn’t I!”
With a fierce expression, Han Qianye accumulated all his strength to the limit.
He was always competitive, known in the military for his brute force output. Among the princes, apart from his elder brother who was inconspicuous, none among his peers could match him, yet now he was being suppressed and beaten! One could imagine his internal frustration.
His vigorous strength, erupting from the Source Pool, boiled in his meridians like boiling water, seemingly ready to burst out at any moment, yet it was always stuck at a crucial joint, unable to break through.
These were the shackles that had trapped him for many years, always unable to break through.
“Could it be that today too, I won’t succeed?”
He clenched his teeth.
If facing this opponent, even with the defense of the Han Ming Armor, he couldn’t break through, then there was only one path left—death!
This was something he was unwilling to accept.
“Battling such a powerful opponent is definitely the best opportunity…”
Knowing that once he lost this chance, it would be hard to find another anytime soon, Han Qianye roared internally and likewise charged towards Ling Buyang.
With each punch, the rampaging strength was like a stone thrown into the water, creating ripples after ripples.
“No, it’s not working, still not working!”
After a hundred consecutive punches, feeling as if his internal organs were slightly bleeding from the shocks, Han Qianye realized that the internal shackles, like a fortress wall, were still impermeable.
Just when he felt he was going to fail again, a faint voice came from the opponent, “Want to break through? I can help you!”
As the voice died down, Han Qianye felt Ling Buyang’s attacking strength suddenly penetrate the defense of the Han Ming Armor, gathering at a particular location in his body.
It was precisely the barrier he couldn’t break through.
Boom!
In an instant, the unshakable place collapsed, his soul congealing into substance at his back, manifesting like a demon god!
Ninefold Source Pool, third level, Primordial Spirit!
He had broken through with the opponent’s help!
“Not bad, not bad!”
In the private room, Han Qianchou’s eyes immediately lit up.
This breakthrough of his younger brother signified that the overall strength of the Han Yuan Dynasty had once again increased significantly.
Both being at the Primordial Spirit level, the difference between having formed the Primordial Spirit and not was still vast.
“This ensures the victory…”
Sun Lianxiang also breathed a sigh of relief.
Different from their excitement, Han Xiao and Chai Yunsheng, two Hall Masters, looked at each other, seeing the intense shock in each other’s eyes.
“Being able to deploy Mo Dao Destiny so smoothly clearly confirms it’s Ling Buyang… But this robust strength also resembles someone who practices the martial arts of the physical body…”
Han Xiao recalled the records in the Heaven Mandate Hall.
Those who practiced the physical body’s martial arts refined their body with their destiny, abstaining from alcohol, bloodshed, bodily harm, and breaking sexual conducts… Decades of persistence are required to control muscle strength fully and fluidly, reaching the limit of strength with every move.
Ling Buyang practices Mo Dao, and it is widely known he’s exceedingly lustful—how could he achieve this?
“Wrong; although he’s famed for his lustfulness, he actually only watches when with women, never physically engaging. I heard this from many people and thought it was a lie, but could it be… true?”
A thought sprang into his mind.
If so, even if Ling Buyang hasn’t practiced the physical body’s martial arts, he must possess a similar method!
The most renowned is the Buddhist Sect’s ‘Aureate Body Technique’!
Cultivating energy, spirit, and essence for decades, ultimately achieving an Aureate Body, possessing immense strength, able solely with muscle power to sever fate and cross to the other shore.
“With such strength and cultivation level, he’s qualified to compete with Chai Yunsheng…”
Musing internally, looking towards the Deputy Dean Chai at his side, he said, “I’ll issue Ling Buyang’s appointment letter when I return. From today, he is the Vice Hall Master of the Heaven Mandate Hall. Once I am summoned back to Zhou Yi Dynasty, he will compete with you for the position of Hall Master! Yunsheng, put in great efforts. Of all people, I’ve always wanted to entrust my position only to you. Don’t disappoint me!”
Chai Yunsheng was startled, his expression immediately turning solemn: “You can rest assured, Master; I will not let down your trust and expectations!”
On the platform, Han Qianye’s cultivation broke through, reaching a strength of 800 horses. Coupled with the Han Ming Armor, his combat ability surged, and where previously he was utterly restrained, now he had gained the upper hand.
“Defensive celestial treasures are indeed powerful. Without using the Pathos of Heaven sword art, winning would be difficult…”
Retreating continuously, Zhang Xuan mused inwardly.
